"That’s* What's the Matter.”—
Week before last the price of caffoo in
Richmond was one dollar and sixty
cents per pound ; is has noarly doubled
in price the present woek. This is ex
plained by the allegation that one man,
a rich jew, has bought every pound in
the market, excopt a small lot in the
hands of Messrs. Kent, Paine U Co.,
and is demanding three dollars per
pound . wholesale. This “forestaller”
has no store; but has laid away upwards
of one hundred and fifty bags of coffee
in his dwelling. The above fact, if
true, carries witji it its own comment.

At "Rest” on tho road-side,
1 o’clock, P. M.. Nov. 21,1862.
Dear Couribr—After leaving Orange
C. H., yesterday, aio took tho Frede
ricksburg Plank Rond, and followed it
about sixteen miles, then turnod square
to tiie left, marching about ono -mile,
when we came te the old Fredericks,
burg road which wo took, turning again
to tho left, and con tin nod on about two
miles farther, and camped for the night.
The march yestorday was tho hardest
our Regiment has over made. It rain
ed a considerable part of the day, and
the old plank road Is so dilapidated as
to mako it exceedingly hard to walk
upon, having frequently to jump, and
tako lung straining steps to retich from
ono plank to another, in good weath
er and over a good road, wo could have
mado tho distanoo—tivonty-ono miles—
very easily. But as it was we marched
almost continuously from 8 A. M. unti 1
41 P. M., and as rapidly as the men
could bo urged forward, and only pro*
ceeded ns far ns was marched easily in
seven hours, in our trip from the Val
ley. It rained nearly all night, but as
the tent flies woro given out to the
men, they got along very comfortably.
Last night one day’s rations was issu
ed and cooked. This is a cold misting
day, but it has not rained much sinco
7 i o’dock—tho time wo resumed tho
marah.
Saturday. 9J A. M.—Yesterday the
march was continued some twelve or
fifteen miles, when we camped about n
mile from SpotRsylvania C. II. The
march was resumed this morning at 7J
o’clock, and at tho Court House ivo
took to the loft, and arc now proceed
ing in the direction of Fredericksburg,
which is 14 miles from the C. H.
Spottsylvania C. II. is remarkablo on
account of the absence of tho usunl
concomitants of country villages. The
Court House, jail, ono hotel, one dwell
ing, and two churches—all neat brick
buildings, with a few oq*-House?, con
stitute tho town.
If Fredericksburg is our destination
we have made a considerable circuit
round to.the right of a direct course
from Orange C. H. No rain since yes
terday morning, and as there is less
clay in tho soil along here, tho walking
is much improved. It is, for tho most
part, a very poor country between hero
and Orange 0. II.
It is rumored that the enemy are in
largo force on tho other sicio of the
Rappahannock river opposite Froder
icksburg, and that they yesterday gave
the citizens till 9 o’clock to ovucuatc
tho place, threatening that they would
commonco shelling the town at thut
hour. Wo have heard no artillery this
morning as yet.
3 o’clock, p. it.—At noon our Brigado
was within 2J miles of Fredericksburg,
but at that tinio wo turned to the right
and havo since been countermarching
and turning about till I can Uurdly toll
our present distanoo from town, but
probably not more than threo miles.
Wo have not Been tho placo yet. The
Brigado is now in lino of buttle in.
column ot regiments. This is pvoba
bly rather for convonicnoo in camping
than any expectation of an immediate
fight. Back a inilo or so from here we
could distinctly see tho onomy’s camp
tiros on the other side of the river.
Probably to-morrow we may have stir
ing times. Humbly trusting in tho God
of battles, wo will try to do our duty.
Ordors have beon issued to cook two
day’s rations, and wo will, probably'
unless some movement of tho enemy
■hall necessitate ono on our part ulso.
9 o’clock Sunday Morning.—Tents
were pitched lust night, but ordors were
issued to be ready to march at a mo
ment’s warning. All quiet this mor
ning. M . D,
Leo, JLoVgstrcct nnd Jackson.
A correspondent of the Columbus
Times writes tho following from Win
chester, llth inst.
Wo have much cause, Mr. Editor,
to bo prutd of tho chief Goneruls of
our army. Gen; Leo has,we believe, won
the way to eveiybody’s confidence.—
In nppenrnnce, he is tall, portly and
commanding. His dress is usually a
plain brigadier’s uniform, a bluck felt
hut, with the brim turned down, and
he wears a short, grizzled‘beard nil
around his faeo. He lias muoh of tho
Washington dignity about him, and is
much respected by all with whom ho
is thrown.
A t Slmrpsburg I saw him on the field
during the heat of the notion. He wes
surrounded by his staff and a perfet
squadron of couriers, tie ivns engaged
ill calmly viowing tho storm of battle,
and giving orders in a manner of eool
reliance. Aids and couriers were lmr-
ing to and from tho right, loft and cen
tre, and the whole disposition of forces
seemed under bis perfect control.
Gen. Longstreet is stout and fleshy,
nnd of good height, and lias a quiet,
courageous look. Tie set ms full ol
thought and decision, and his face
mak«s an agrceablo impression alike
on new and old acquaintances. He is
charucteiistically a fighting man—none
can equal him in forcing a strong and
well fortified position, and Gen.- Loo
showed his appreciation of an old tried
seldier.wtien ho pntted him on the
shoulder after tho late battle and said:
‘‘.viy old war horse!” In this engage
ment he was second in command of
tho army, and his old corps keenly
felt the need of his able hat tiling.
I was surprised at Stonewall Jack_
san’s appearance. He has been doscri
bed as a sort of a clown. I never yet
saw him riding with knees drawn up
like a monkey nnd his head rosting tip-
on his breast. Ho 1ms a first rate fttco
nnd soemsa pUinly dressed cnpt.of cav
alry, with an unpretending staff. His
uniform is fine enough certainly for the
hard lifo ho lends. But the imagina
tion is piqued you know by the fibsoneo
of protension, as a “king in grey
clothes.’’ Stonewall don’t like to come
about the army much. The boys keep
him bareheaded all the time. When
they begin to cheer him ho usually
pulls off his hat, spurs bis fine horse,
and runs through ' howls which meet
him every stop (for some live miles)
ns hard us lie can go.
From Virginia.
Wo have tlio sttmo report to make ;
this morning of tho posiuon of uffnirs
lit Fredericksburg that lias been daily
given to our readers for the piist week.
Every tiling is represented as ill a stato
of inaotioii; the enemy desisting from
any formidable demonstration, and our
own troops quietly and puliently await- ;
ing the movements of their opponents.
How long this srato of things will con
tinue it is impossible to say, but most
probably until Burnside is urged for
ward by the irrosistiblo pressure of
Northern fanaticism. The report that
a portion of the onomy’s forces had
moved up to tho Rappahannock some ,
eighteen miles, in tho direction of
Whmmton Junction, is not confirmed
by any information received yesterday.
The latest information received
throws some doubt upon tho report
that the enotny hud recently boen large
ly reinforced lit Suffolk. All last week
trains were running nightly between
Norfolk and Sutlblk, but with what in
tention Inis not been fully fully ascer
tained. ‘1 ho i’oteisburg ‘‘Express’’
